Shifting gears

I am definitely going to get a light so I don't have to stare at the tach. The '04's don't have a light on the dash to shift.

i knew i wasn't insane though. there's no way i could have missed a red light flashing on at redline.

You do have a regular US-spec RX-8, right? It's not a Canadian model or any other version which might account for the difference?

It also carries much better beer in the trunk!

Much better beer? You think I can't buy Corona here?

'04 should have the beep. Dpn't think that we have the warning light though. I have one of the early build dates...still beeps. Just in case you miss the beep, which I did when I first got the car (for some reason...as someone else said before, it becomes more noticeable over time)...the fuel cut-off will let you know VERY quickly that you have surpassed your limits.

Beer snob Ike? You said you were some sort of wine buyer, so you should be the first to know that every country stockpiles alcohol that is relative to the preferences of the majority. Americans, on average, like beers that are light on taste, with less bitterness, less body.
Canadians on average love flavour...but not even as much as the English. This is why most of our beer is better. All bars here have full bodied strong flavoured beers. Last summer as an example, I was at a rally in Ohio that had a full selection...of watered down American beer and nothing else
No matter, though maybe its your flat beer that leads to your constant 8 bashing.
